Simple. 🙂
N52? Sure. Post crisis/pre? No
here we see Captain Atom and The Ray create a shield to protect from this universe ending entropy for a short time.

he assists in absorbing Zero Hour Parallax's energies.

Zero Hour number 4. Page 13, 1994. We are told and shown the entropy rifts destroy the entire universe.
And he was working alongside only The Ray, and Ray nor darkstars have history of feats on this level and Atom does.

N52? Sure.

And by absorbing the energy of OMAC Prime:
Pre-Flashpoint CA was one of the most wildly inconsistent energy manipulators in comics, tbh.

Not necessarily. He was just susceptible to energy manipulators, and Quasar was monstrous at mucking with, or outright shutting down beings composed of energy. The Q-Bands would lock onto an energy signature and shut it down. He shut down Carol Danvers in her Binary form, and she's a mid level energy manipulator.

..Major force isn't weak..
I'm going by average, would that be the only time he's been overloaded in PC?
